Re: Ralink RT5390 in 11.04

command return

Code:

Interface doesn't support scanning.

If you boot into Windows and turn the wireless on, is it still on in Ubuntu?

No, wi fi works only windows, and when system boot wifi default turn off. And i have to turn on. On BIOS I can't change it.
But wifi worked on openSUSE. I bought a laptop with already established openSUSE. But this system does not suit me. So I decided to install ubuntu.

Re: Ralink RT5390 in 11.04

I'm sorry, but no combination of key presses, removing or adding hp-wmi or anything else gets rid of hard blocked: yes. Until the system thinks the wireless switch is switched to ON, it isn't going to work.

Are you still running 11.04? I'd certainly download 12.10 and try the live CD. Otherwise, I have no further suggestions.

I assume you downloaded and compiled rt5390sta because the native in-kernel driver didn't work for you. The real reason it won't work is rfkill, not the driver.
